Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 875: Chaos

Chapter 875: Chaos

The Southern Yanlin Continent seemed to be dragged into the abyss as the heavens seemed to split open as torrential rain fell upon the land. It painted a sorry sight for the Azure Flame World.

At the northernmost point of the Southern Yanlin Continent where the city was located, bright flashes could be seen from time to time.

A lightning storm flashed continuously above the city as bolts slammed into the city. More accurately, they slammed into the spatial tunnel connecting the city to the Yanlin Holy Land.

If one were to look closer, the lightning bolts traveled into the Yanlin Holy Land and went straight for the Stellar Cauldron that was on the central platform!

In the skies above the city, a circular-shaped light screen could be seen as it blocked a good portion of lightning from the city. Those that passed through it were greatly weakened, and they would mostly scatter and land on the various structures in the city.

Despite the powerful lightning storm, a good portion of the power of the grand formation was used to strengthen the earth below.

The strong vibrations originated from the depths of the world, and it was more than enough to flatten the entire city if no one did anything about it.

With multiple Formation Grandmasters drawing the power of the grand formation to stabilize the city the best they could, they ensured that there wouldnt be too much destruction.

On the platform, Shang Xias clone gasped. The power of the grand formation is basically shifted away at this point Why hadnt the Beast Tide and Sea Beast Tide hit us yet?

Another powerful tremor came from the earth below as multiple Formation Grandmasters gave it everything they had to stop the shaking. No one had the energy to reply to his question.

Raising his head to look at the lightning storm above before feeling the shaking under his feet, he knew that it wouldnt be long before the Formation Grandmasters would be unable to hold out. He reached his hand into the void and made a single gesture.

In the Yanlin Holy Land, Shang Xias eyebrows jumped slightly and he understood the intentions of his clone. He swung his arm and tossed the Five Element Ring out.

When the Five Element Ring reappeared, it was held firmly in the hands of his clone. A massive light ring emerged and filled the platform. The next moment, 30 percent of the tremors from under the earth had been dealt with and the city became a lot more stable.

The Formation Grandmasters who were close to their limits earlier found a chance to breathe, but the short interference caused the dipper qi stored in Shang Xias clone to be completely used up.

Even though he was unable to maintain his current state, Shang Xias clone still left the platform and flew towards the chaotic battle happening outside.

The situation outside the city wasnt great at the moment as it was extremely chaotic.

Because of the amount of world origin Shang Xia was absorbing, the Azure Flame Worlds Will started to counterattack directly.

It didnt matter which force of nature it was. Everything was caused by the Worlds Wills backlash.

Creating lightning storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other heavenly phenomena wasnt all the Worlds Will did. With the decreasing heaven and earth spiritual qi in the air, the creatures in the Azure Flame World seemed to feel the danger as they started to rush in the direction of the Yanlin City.

Originally, the threat of the Beast Tide that was gathering would be of great threat against the Yanlin City. However, a good portion of the beasts who were stirred up due to their instincts didnt care about friends or foes at the moment. No matter how angry the Worlds Will was, it was nearly impossible to influence the beasts to target a specific party.

Some high level beasts might have some level of intelligence, but with the Beast Tide and Sea Beast Tide at such a massive scale, they were unable to influence it in the slightest. The Beast Tide and Sea Beast Tide were unable to differentiate between friends and foes. Those from the Azure Ascension World were their enemies, and so were the cultivators of the Azure Flame World! In fact, they even attacked fellow beasts!

By the time the massive beast tides gathered around the city, the creatures were attacking without a care for each other! The experts of the Azure Flame World were also surrounded by the spiritual creatures and were dragged into the mess.

The experts of the Azure Ascension World were actually the ones benefiting from the chaos that was happening outside.

The experts of the Azure Flame World had half a mind to retreat. However, by the time they realized they were surrounded by countless spiritual creatures, it was too late! With the experts of the Azure Ascension World intentionally tangling with them, they were forced to resist the beast tides with everything they could.

By the time Shang Xias clone arrived in the vicinity, the battle was so chaotic and intense that he couldnt tell who was who. He even discovered his divine will warping due to the intense fluctuations.

It was then that a mighty sword qi arrived. It forced a path through the chaotic battlefield without much restraint.

When Shang Xias clone first felt the powerful sword qi, his entire body tensed up as he prepared to fight with whatever combat strength he had left. However, he quickly felt a familiar aura surrounding the sword qi and he heaved a sigh of relief quietly.

Kou Chongxues disheveled self finally emerged from the city as he arrived beside Shang Xias clone.

Staring at Shang Xias clone with a strange gaze, he muttered, Hows the situation at your side?

Understanding how urgent things were, Shang Xias clone didnt hesitate to respond. The Stellar Cauldron is already 70 percent full and is still filling up at the moment. We can leave at any time. Patriarch, you can start recalling everyone to the Holy Land now

Glancing at the chaos before them, Kou Chongxue pressed his lips together and mumbled in a worried tone, Im afraid things arent going to be this easy

Shang Xia knew what Kou Chongxue was referring to. He wasnt referring to how they would leave the Azure Flame World. Instead, he was worried that gathering everyone from the Azure Ascension World wouldnt be easy.

Shang Xias clone seemed to fall deep into thought, but he managed to form some sort of connection to his true body. After some communication, he muttered, Why dont we let the experts of the Azure Flame World leave?

Huh? Kou Chongxue grunted once before turning to look at Shang Xias clone.

Im afraid they have also suffered catastrophic damage. The moment we stop trying to fight them, they will definitely try to run away the first chance they get. After all, it doesnt matter if were talking about the Beast Tide or the Sea Beast Tide. Theyre here to destroy the city and those experts of the Azure Flame World would be more than happy to sit at the side to watch us get destroyed. They probably cant wait to reap all the benefits after were beaten down by the beast tides Shang Xias clone explained.

Yeah, you said it yourself. Theyre waiting to reap the benefits after were beaten Kou Chongxue raised an eyebrow in response.

Shang Xias clone quickly continued, Yeah? But my true body has already gathered enough world origin!

Hm Kou Chongxue seemed to finally realize Shang Xia wasnt spouting rubbish and he grunted, Continue. Tell me the rest of the plan.

The spiritual beasts are following their instincts at the moment. Even if they barge into the city, they wont know what to do. They wouldnt know how to locate the entrance to the Holy Land either. At the very most, theyll destroy everything in the city. After the experts of the Azure Flame World leave to watch from the side, they will have to force their way through the beast tides if they wish to stop us! By allowing them to leave right now, we will be able to buy ourselves even more time. Shang Xias clone concluded.

Nodding slightly, Kou Chongxue finally agreed with his plan. Alright. Well carry out your plan. Ill help those in trouble to retreat but Im afraid you might also need to make a move when the time comes.

Naturally, Kou Chongxue wasnt referring to Shang Xias clone at the moment. He was referring to Shang Xias true body.

After filling 70 percent of the Stellar Cauldron with world origin, they reached their goal. As such, Shang Xia could stop absorbing world origin whenever he wished to join the battle.

Of course, if the situation permitted, Shang Xia wouldnt mind storing more world origin
